Well for the lily bulbs, of the 6 bulbs I planted one started to grow after 18 days and now I have small beauty, and the other one started after 23 days and is still in very small leaves. Oh by the way, there is picture in the following link where you can see the walmart lily bulb plant growing and pearling.

How are they doing now?

I have both apons and lilly plants growing from the walmart bulb packages. They are only about a month old but the fish are already darting in and out of the canopy of leaves these plants are producing.

I hope they're long lived(even though I've read of the apons needing a dormancy period).

if you let them the lilly's will get pretty big, here is a pic of some in my play around tank. sorry if they are hard to see, i am currently riding out and alge bloom....

My friend had one of these bulbs growing in his 10 gallon. It grew HUGE. It reached the top of the tank, had about 30-40 differnt stalks with leaves on them and the base was just ROOT CITY! It was very nice looking.
